I have followed all the step in the readme (including adding the line to /boot/device.hint see below). I wonder though is nvidia 3d acceleration supported under FreeBSD? From the readme: / The NVIDIA Accelerated FreeBSD Driver Set brings accelerated 2D functionality and high-performance OpenGL support to FreeBSD x86 with the use of NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs). These drivers provide optimized hardware acceleration for OpenGL and X applications and support nearly all recent NVIDIA graphics chips (please see Appendix A for a complete list of supported chips). TwinView, TV-Out and flat panel displays are also supported. / P.S. I also have ran ppracer. Results: *FreeBSD* *110 fps* *Gentoo Linux* *240 fps* Additional information: *# tail /boot/device.hints* /hint.ie.0.maddr="0xd0000" hint.fe.0.at="isa" hint.fe.0.disabled="1" hint.fe.0.port="0x300" hint.lnc.0.at="isa" hint.lnc.0.disabled="1" hint.lnc.0.port="0x280" hint.lnc.0.irq="10" hint.lnc.0.drq="0" hint.agp.0.disabled="1"/
